The Fundamental Areas That Are Examined
Overview of Methodology
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)
The AWS Security Review has a strong focus on publicly available information that could be leveraged in targeted attacks. Information such as links to cloud resources, document metadata, email addresses, and leaked credentials, are gathered to identify common and applicable attacks from unauthenticated attackers.
AWS Configuration Review
The configuration of the AWS environment and all encased services are systematically investigated and compared to industry-standard best practices and Pentest People’s in-house guidance to establish a secure environment, which is resilient to modern cyber-attacks. Pentest People understand that there can requirements and external factors that need to be satisfied — the consultant will take these into consideration when completing the post-assessment report.
